ABS-CBN through its head PR released a statement regarding the PBB brouhaha that caught the collective ire of the people on social media.
“Pinoy Big Brother 737 housemates Bailey May, 12, and Kenzo Gutierrez, 18, have recently been the subject of malicious posts that have gone viral on social media.
“These posts are made by irresponsible netizens who maliciously take screenshots from the program’s live stream and weave a narrative that is not only far from the truth, but also attempts to put the housemates in a bad light.
They mislead the public by manipulating the images to put malice to otherwise innocent acts.“ABS-CBN vehemently condemns these irresponsible social media posts that malign the reputation of the housemates.
We are concerned with the welfare of our young housemates and it is our responsibility to protect them. We will not allow them to be subjected to cyberbullying. We will not tolerate the abuse of social media.
“To put a stop to this, ABS-CBN is taking a stand on the issue by shutting down the free 24/7 livestreaming of the program on cable TV (SkyCable) and online (iWant TV and TFC.tv) starting tonight. We appeal to the public to stop perpetuating abuse and use social media responsibly.”
That was the statement.
We feel na hindi naman subjected to abuse ang dalawang guys na nabanggit. Their actions were just subjected to interpretations. Kung ano ang ipinapakita nila,’yun lang ang ini-interpret ng mga tao sa social media.
Kasama na nga riyan ang love affair nina Bailley at Barbie na siyang na-evict sa PBB house last Friday. Nakakatawa ang PBB, ha. Noong wala pa silang imbitasyon mula sa MTRCB ay wala silang abuse ek-ek na drama, wala silang kiyaw-kiyaw.
Pero nang ipinatawag na sila ng MTRCB ay biglang sinisi nila ang social media sa pagkalat ng malicious post, biglang naging parang inutil para sa kanila ang social media.
Why put the blame on people on social media when they were just interpreting kung ano ang nakikita nila sa livestream? So how did the netizens react on this statement of ABS-CBN?
“Sisihin nila sarili nila bulok ang programa nila. Lipas na. Napagsawaan na. Walang kwenta.” “Why blame the media and netizens? So wala talagng truth na nag holding hands sila?”
“So sinisi sa mga jejemin. fantard nila ung malisyosong galaw nila enzo at bailey? Dear abscbn hwag nyo gawing escape goat ang mga viewers nyo. Kayo may hawak sa pinapalabas nyo.
If i know sinadya nyo naman talaga tapos pag nasita sasabihin netizens? Pinutol ung live streaming or inutusan kayo ng MTRCB?” “I don’t think it’s right to blame the netizens sa issue nato, kasi we just react based on what we see.
If we believe wala namang mali sa mga ginagawa ng housemates, then we wouldn’t put judgment and malice over their acts. It is not the netizens that maligned the reputation of the housemates but themselves.
Feeling ba ng PBB, okay lang ang mga ganung arte ng mga kabataan, nakalimutan yata nila na they also have the social responsibility to their viewers na magpakita ng tamang ehemplo.”
Ayan ang reaction ng mga tao sa statement ng ABS-CBN. Suggestion naming, ang dapat gawin ng social media people ay iboykot ang PBB.
